My story
Technology, design, and a lot of late nights.
I'm Uzair Saleem, a software engineer who builds web products, researches AI, and manages projects that actually get finished.

Before I knew what code was.
I was born in Pakistan into a home where a computer was already there before I was. Games never really held my attention. I was more interested in the computer itself, opening folders, clicking through menus, and trying to see what was in every corner of it. I did not grow up calling myself a future engineer. It was school, friends, and that quiet habit of checking how things worked. I had no idea that curiosity would one day become my work.
2016
The screen that changed everything.
In 7th grade, my older brother was studying BS Information Technology, and I started watching him work on web development at home. I did not plan a career path. I just got interested. I learned by watching, asking, and trying things myself. By 2017 I had built my first website: a simple one-pager in HTML. Nothing fancy. But it was mine.

I showed up at university.
I enrolled in Software Engineering and started building from day one, a tic-tac-toe game in C++, a patient queuing system in Python, a final-year project management platform for the department. University wasn't something I was waiting to finish. It was where I learned to ship.
CGPA 3.49

Research, campaigns, and clients.
I became a Research Assistant, working on machine learning, medical imaging, AI, and blockchain under academic supervision. That summer I led digital strategy for the Pakistan Engineering Council elections, running a creative team across Facebook and Instagram. On the side I was building websites for clients worldwide, WordPress, Elementor, Wix, from salon suites in Georgia to marketing agencies in the UK.
Freelance since 2021
2025
The heart of the matter.
I graduated with a final-year project that used deep learning to predict cardiovascular disease, trained on real patient parameters, built for healthcare precision. Three research papers followed: weather humidity classifiers, remote patient monitoring via IoT, and work on secure communication protocols. Then I joined the Punjab Information Technology Board.

Building what matters.
I'm an Associate Software Engineer at PITB, working in the public sector on AI-based modules, ML pipelines, and the systems that bring models into real use. A paper on post-quantum secure MQTT for IoT networks is headed to IEEE in Houston. I'm still freelancing, still researching, still trying to build things that outlast the hype.
